Overview
The Zoho Mail node allows users to interact with the Zoho Mail API, specifically for sending messages. This node is beneficial in scenarios where automated email communication is required, such as sending notifications, alerts, or updates directly from workflows. For example, a user could set up an automation that sends a welcome email to new subscribers or alerts to team members when certain events occur.

Output
The output of the execute() method is structured as a JSON object containing the response from the Zoho Mail API after attempting to send a message. If the operation is successful, it may include details about the sent message, such as its ID and status. If there is no response, an empty object is returned.
Dependencies
